Twilight frontal shot of the illuminated dragon entrance at the Shun Wan Pier to the Jumbo Floating Restaurant, Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong magnate, Stanley Ho, designed and built the Jumbo Floating Restaurant, which, in the style of an ancient Chinese imperial palace, opened in October 1976 at a cost of HK$ 30 million. Visitor access is via ornamental barge from Aberdeen Promenade or the nearby Shun Wan Pier, opposite the entrance, and seen here with the silhouettes of visitors waiting for a barge. Since opening in 1976, the 'Jumbo Kingdom' has attracted 30 million visitors. Now underlain by concrete, it is something of a theme park.
